I really don't like sports all that much. I never really did. I do watch horse racing and swimming and skating sometimes though. But if there is anything else on tv, I will watch that first.

Yea I enjoy all sports, but i prefer to play football or cricket... Sports can be a positive experience for your child's body and mind. Outdoors Unstructure Acctivities and games are essential for every child.Let a child explore, go trekking with his friends,encourage him to play, run around, jump, etc. These activities are an essential way of venting out physical energy. Physical activities can be divided into two : a. Outdoor unstructured activities b. Structured physical activities Structured physical activities instil disipline,camaraderie's values like sporting spiritand trust. It also helps a child to take his own decision and sharpens his thinking process. Structured activities are games like cricket, football, swimming, cycling, etc.Encourage your child to play games and help him specialise in any type of sport if he excels or has a liking interest in it.
